With my nine meridians taken away, I will prove my invincibility with the Demon Seed!

Qin Yi stopped and stared at the large characters, falling into silence.

Even though it was recommended by Lao Tian, ​​he still felt like turning around and leaving.

"If you're a true brother, come and chop me down..."

Qin Yi muttered to himself, and several black lines seemed to appear on his forehead.

Just then, a laugh rang out.

"Young man, you've come here because you've heard so much about us, wanting to join our brotherhood, right?"

Qin Yi looked to the side.

A burly woman strode over.

The woman had bronze skin and a bold and unrestrained air about her. She wore an oversized female disciple's robe, which bore the insignia of a mid-level disciple.

"This senior sister... is she also a member of the Brotherhood?" Qin Yi cupped his hands, his expression somewhat strange.

Brotherhoods accept women?

The woman laughed heartily, "Does it seem strange? Actually, there's no need to be. The president said that whether you're a man or a woman, once you join the fraternity, you're a brother!"

"The men are male brothers, and the women are female brothers!"

"Gender is just an external factor; brotherhood is the core!"

Qin Yi was becoming quite interested in Tian Bugui's half-disciple, who was also the president of the Brotherhood. He was an interesting fellow.

The woman said cheerfully, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Zhang Miaomiao."

Qin Yi: "..."

That's a very feminine name.

"Hello, Senior Sister Zhang, I'm Qin Yi."

A peculiar light immediately appeared on Zhang Miaomiao's face as she said, "You're Qin Yi from the Desolate Ancient Continent? Tsk tsk, you're quite the celebrity lately, lots of people are talking about you!"

"I never expected you to be not only talented, but also have such a keen eye!"

Qin Yi: "Perspective?"

Zhang Miaomiao said, "Your joining the Brotherhood is enough to prove your good judgment!"

Qin Yi was speechless once again.

Zhang Miao put her arm around Qin Yi's shoulder and said, "Now that you're here, let's go upstairs. I'll take you to see the president."

Qin Yi was seven feet tall and had a strong build, but with Zhang Miaomiao putting her arm around his shoulder like that, he actually looked a bit like a little bird clinging to someone.

The two walked up the mountain.

Qin Yi couldn't help but ask, "Senior Sister Zhang, what does 'If you're a brother, come and chop me down' mean?"

Zhang Miaomiao's expression immediately turned extremely serious, and she said, "This sentence is the foundation of our brotherhood!"

"Back then, before the Brotherhood existed, Senior Brother Li and a few companions went out on a mission and encountered a Soul Demon!"

"Soul Demons are very difficult to deal with; you should know that, Junior Brother Qin."

"In order to subdue that Soul Demon, Senior Brother Li actually used himself as bait to lure the Soul Demon into his body, and then sealed the Soul Demon inside his body."

"In order to destroy the Soul Demon, Senior Brother Li shouted to his companions, 'If you're a brother, come and kill me!'"

"In the end, Senior Brother Li was hacked half to death, and the soul demon he had sealed within his body was also killed!"

"From then on, Senior Brother Li's reputation soared, and that's how the fraternity was formed!"

"So, if you're a brother, come and fight me! This phrase represents fearless courage and unwavering loyalty!"

After hearing Zhang Miaomiao's explanation, Qin Yi finally understood the meaning of those words!

After a while.

The two arrived at the mountaintop.

The mountaintop has been transformed into a martial arts training ground, where dozens of people are practicing.

There was a lively atmosphere with students exchanging skills and intermediate disciples instructing beginners.

"Senior Sister Miaomiao is back!"

"Senior Sister Miao Miao has gotten even stronger!"

"Judging from Senior Sister Miaomiao's good mood, she must have successfully completed this mission!"

"Senior Sister Miaomiao, who is the person you brought?"

A group of people greeted Zhang Miaomiao.

Qin Yi noticed that Zhang Miaomiao would be very happy whenever others praised her for being even stronger.

Zhang Miaomiao said in a loud voice, "This is Qin Yi. He wanted to join the Brotherhood. I happened to meet him at the foot of the mountain, so I brought him up."

"Qin Yi?"

"This guy is a genius!"

"Not only is he highly talented, but he also seems incredibly fierce. Both the Du and Li families have suffered losses at his hands!"

Immediately, everyone stopped and stared at Qin Yi.

Zhang Miaomiao led Qin Yi through the martial arts arena and arrived at the door of a simple hut next to it.

"Is the president not here?" Zhang Miaomiao asked.

"Yes, I'm here," someone said.

"Junior Brother Qin, please wait a moment."

Zhang Miaomiao said something, then took a step forward, kicked the door open, and shouted, "President, a new member has arrived!"

A loud sonic boom rolled in, and the small house shook violently. Then, a helpless voice rang out: "Miaomiao, even if I don't die at the hands of the enemy, I'll be killed by your Lion's Roar sooner or later."

Immediately afterwards, a pale-faced man with sunken eyes, who looked frail, walked out of the house.

His hair was messy, he looked listless, yawned, and then stretched.

Qin Yi couldn't believe that the person in front of him was Li Zheng, the third-thousandth ranked member of the Qingyun Ranking, half a disciple of Tian Bugui, and the one who shouted, "If you're my brother, come and kill me!"

Li Zheng glanced at Qin Yi with sleepy eyes.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Li."

"It was Protector Tian who sent me..."

Qin Yi cupped his hands in greeting.

Before he could finish speaking...

Li Zheng muttered to himself, "Protector Tian? Where did this Protector Tian come from? Does the Starry Sky Palace have a protector surnamed Tian?"

A person next to him whispered, "President, your cheap master's surname is Tian."

Li Zheng: "..."

He asked Qin Yi, "Are you Qin Yi?"

Qin Yi nodded: "Exactly."

"Why didn't you say so sooner?" Li Zhengdao asked.

Qin Yi: "I didn't have time to finish speaking..."

Li Zheng scratched his messy hair and said, "Alright, since it was Master who introduced you, from now on you're a member of our Brotherhood!"

"Brotherhood is in the heart, so there are no complicated initiation ceremonies in the fraternity. You just need to shout the slogan three times."

Qin Yi: "..."

"Do we have to shout?"

Zhang Miaomiao said, "We have to shout it out. Once we do, we're brothers!"

Qin Yi felt a little hesitant to speak.

That slogan was too awkward.

But under the eager, enthusiastic gazes of the crowd, Qin Yi, having already come this far, had no choice but to grit his teeth and shout, "If you're a brother, come and chop me down!"

"If you're a brother, come and fight me!"

"If you're a brother, come and fight me!"

After shouting those three times, Qin Yi felt even more exhausted than if he had fought a powerful enemy.

Right after he shouted it.

A glint of light suddenly appeared in Li Zheng's previously dazed eyes, and he said, "Then I'll chop it up!"

The words fell.

Li Zheng took a step forward instantly and rushed towards Qin Yi.

Qin Yi reacted extremely quickly, and starlight rippled out from beneath his feet.

Formless Starry Sky Step!

He immediately stepped back, trying to create some distance.

But Li Zheng was faster.

Suddenly, Li Zheng grabbed a short axe and chopped it toward Qin Yi's chest.

With a thought, Qin Yi activated his internal energy and blood, using the Shrinking Earth to an Inch technique, which suddenly increased his speed, allowing him to narrowly avoid Li Zheng's axe.

But in the next instant, Li Zheng's axe flew out of his hand, like a falling meteor, and crashed towards Qin Yi.

Qin Yi sensed a strong sense of crisis. The Tianjun Sword instantly appeared in his hand, and he unleashed the Water Extreme Vast Sea Sword technique, preparing to use softness to overcome hardness and deflect the force of Li Zheng's axe.

But the water waves formed by the sword light were directly cleaved apart by the axe.

Qin Yi was startled and immediately activated the Mountain Moving Divine Power!

The magical mountain roared as it crashed into Li Zheng's axe.

Just as Qin Yi's divine mountain was about to knock Li Zheng's axe away, Li Zheng's body suddenly appeared next to the axe and grabbed the handle with one hand.

He vanished from beside Qin Yi's divine mountain in a flash, and in the next instant, he was already on Qin Yi's left side.

He chopped it down with an axe.

A cold sweat broke out on Qin Yi's body!

Fortunately, his swordsmanship has improved greatly recently, and he immediately unleashed the Golden Extreme Instantaneous Sword, the sword blade sweeping up to block Li Zheng's axe.

The instant Li Zheng's axe blade touched Qin Yi's sword.

The power within Qin Yi's sword was suddenly dissipated.

But the power contained in Li Zheng's axe also disappeared.

Li Zheng sheathed his axe and said, "Your strength, reaction time, speed, and swordsmanship are all outstanding. No wonder my master recommended you to me."

"The future is bright!"

Then, a smile appeared on his face, and he solemnly said to Qin Yi, "Welcome to the Brotherhood."

"If you're a brother, come and chop me down!" Zhang Miaomiao smiled and unleashed her Lion's Roar, shouting the slogan.

"If you're a brother, come and fight me!"

"If you're a brother, come and fight me!"

……

A group of fraternities shouted in unison!

"Is it too late for me to quit now?" Qin Yi thought helplessly...
